After the Alaska purchase, the Navy took control of the newly established Department of Alaska in 1879. The Native people who lived in this region of the U.S were the Tlingit and from the start there was a lot of tension between the new settlers and the indigenous people of the area. Because of differences in the way they saw how things should be carried out, especially legal-wise, the two bands were not able to settle things peacefully. From 1869 tension began to escalate and two major conflicts ensued, which affected Tlingit villages. The first was the Kake War, in February of 1869, that affected the Sitka village, as well as others, near what is present day Kake. Then, in December of the same year, there was a bombardment on the part of the U.S Navy to the Stikine village of Old Wrangell. This led to a conflict in which several Stikine villages were affected. Then, on October 1882, the biggest problem ensued and it affected the Tlingit village of Angoon, when the U.S Navy under commander Edgar C. Merriman bombarded the settlement because they had taken hostages and property in return for blankets.

They realized that nothing really changed much. The freed African-Americans still had almost no political rights and the system was controlled mostly by corrupt politicians who came from the north to become rich. The regular people still had huge farms and turned the former slave system into a system of sharecropping which was in many ways similar to slavery. The freedom was very superficial and in reality people still lived as bad as before the war.

Before it became a U.S. state, eastern Oklahoma was set-aside for what?

KatRina [158]

D. As "Indian Territory" for thousands of Native Americans displaced from the southeastern United States.

Explanation:

Most of Oklahoma was set-aside as "Indian Territory", as the United States government wanted to move the Native Americans from their tribal lands in order to expand.

The Indian Removal Act was passed in 1830, which meant the Native Americans had to move from their homes and go to the territory that was for them in Oklahoma. They obviously did not want to go, but many knew that they would not stand a chance against the United States government.

Years later, some of the Cherokee Natives were still there and were not moving, this caused the United States military to get involved and had to force them out. Native Americans were walked at gunpoint all the way to Oklahoma, this walk is known as the Trail of Tears. Thousands of Natives died of diseases, starvation, and weather conditions during this walk.

Through good economic years and bad, many european economies had unemployment rates hovering near _________ since the 1970s.

xenn [34]

The correct answer is 10%.

Sometimes these numbers were higher, sometimes they were lower, but in general, good economic years hovered around 10% which was not so bad for the society since it's impossible to reduce it to 0% and it is also easy for it to go way over 10%, so the 10% mark was acceptable for numerous countries in Europe.
